About

The OSCE will support a two-day training seminar on the judicial application of environmental legislation in civil cases. The event will be organized in co-operation with the Justice Institute and Supreme Court for some 40 judges dealing with environmental court cases. The training seminar will focus on the disputes arising from the implementation of the Aarhus Convention as well as on compliance mechanisms with the norms of international environmental agreements. During the training the judges will be tasked to solve a number of practical exercises based on real cases. The event is part of the Office’s long-standing efforts to assist the host country in bridging the gaps in the national institutional and legal frameworks on the Aarhus Convention.
